After calling alex (kingrat), flyin miata and looking at my car again to confirm that I am not an idiot, I call the guys at planet miata back and ask him again about the midpipe -> muffler thing and the pricing.
He still argues with me that everything is one piece and you have to cut it to drop it. I think he's high on crack. I told him to go outside and look at his parts - he still offered to send it to me, but Alex (who's buying the car) said not to bother since he's doing to put a straight pipe on it anyways.
Anyways.... i was quoted "$100 for everything" and did not get the cat/mid pipe, and he said "well i didnt charge you enough for the manifold, those things usually for for alot more because they're so much better than the 99-2000". I dont give a shit about the performance, i'm fixing a problem and $100-$125 for a complete low mileage system is in line with what i saw on miata.net's forums. Instead i got half of a high mileage rusty exhaust system.
I gave up arguing about it since I have better luck arguing with my dog. I could send everything back and dispute the charge on my visa but its not worth the headache.
So fuck those guys. Next time I'll do some more research when ordering used parts.
